THE UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS - 1994 RECORDINGS OF STUDENT JAZZ ENSEMBLES

  • the university of the arts: 1994 recordings of student jazz ensembles
        (1995, cd, USA, private release / ua9501)
The University of the Arts School Of Music is located in the centre of Philadelphia.
This recording featured four of the more than twenty student jazz ensembles at The University of the Arts: the Fusion Ensemble, Common Ground, Facing West, and the Big Band.
The Fusion Ensemble, directed by professor Rick Kerber recorded FZ's 'Black Napkins' in an arrangement of trumpet player Aaron Meicht. The solos were performed by Tim Garton (alto sax) and Chris Shepherd (guitar).

This CD had been on my want-list for a couple of years already.
I'm glad that I got hold of it. It's a great album, with an excellent 'Black Napkins'.
